A bit about us

Are you looking for more than just another litigation position? A highly respected Atlanta litigation boutique is seeking a Commercial Litigation Associate who wants meaningful responsibility, direct client interaction, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing practice. Unlike many larger firms where associates are siloed into narrow responsibilities, this role offers ownership of sophisticated business litigation matters from initial case assessment through trial. You'll work directly alongside experienced litigators while developing the judgment, autonomy, and client relationships typically reserved for much more senior attorneys. This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who enjoys taking initiative, solving complex legal problems, and becoming a trusted advisor to clients.

Why this opportunity stands out

This firm intentionally gives associates significantly more responsibility than most traditional law firms. You'll have direct client exposure, meaningful ownership over your matters, mentorship from experienced litigators, and a genuine path toward partnership based on performance rather than simply years of practice. The firm also embraces technology that improves efficiency while maintaining a strong commitment to exceptional legal writing, sound judgment, and outstanding client service.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• 3% employer 401(k) contribution
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Transportation and parking allowance
• Marketing budget and origination incentives
• Clear partnership track
• Collaborative, high-performance culture
